selecting distinct

I have a table that is set up like:

Code:

id | artist | song | album

Where there could be multiple entries that had the same artist and song. I want to select distinct how that if there are rows which the artist and song are the same as other rows, I only get one occurrence returned. So, something that would look like this (but obviously this doesn't work):

PHP Code:

$sql->query("SELECT DISTINCT(artist, song) AS title FROM lifethemesong LIMIT $x");
